Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:


A crisp and fruity blend featuring 20% of the herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, 50% creamy Loin de l’Oeil and notes of fresh apple and crisp pear, plus a touch of herb from the 30% Mauzac. It has a bright feel, with a hint of mineral on the finish.

Personal Tasting Notes: 

I did not particularly like this wine it had a rather strong dry aroma and was also dry in its taste.  I felt that the wine had a strong oak component and a long linger.  Finally the wine had a vinegar like scent.  I did detect a slight hint of pear but not apples while tasting this wine.  Although, the wine had a strong aroma of dryness the actual bouquet was very small with no real fruit or flavorful scents.
